Lived in Asia many years and can confirm Autan is an excellent insect repellent It does not have an unpleasant smell (like many others) and does not melt plastic (like products containing DEET) IMHO this is a much better alternative to taking anti-malarial meds because they can have serious side effects

For those that don’t already know, cold sores can be halted if treated early. Even delayed application is beneficial. The leading brand of cream is Zovirax but there are several alternatives, all contain 5% Aciclovir. Buy it before you need it and apply it the moment you suspect your may have a cold sore. Zovirax is available from Amazon for £3.99 delivered.

I got the one from boots about 2 years ago and used it at the first sign of a tingle and haven't (touch wood) had a single one since, I don't get any discomfort and am so pleased I bought one.. If this is similar to the boots one then I can highly recommend..

I bought one of these last year and used it whilst away on holIday, in the sun, last summer and found that it does 'delay' the outbreak but I don't believe it stops one altogether, the downside however (I found) is that you have that horrible tingling sensation the entire time so I wonder whether just letting things take the course (as horrible as cold sores are) is the easiest option?
